Who got hype just now?
I was thinking I am playing to little Yomi lately. I was thinking Yomi had too much EV calculations (lets face it, maths don't real), to many rounds of best of and too long timers!
And then I thought, what can I do about it? And the answer is pretty gosh darn simple: MAKE IT HAPPEN!
But isn't Yomi dead? Well, lets throw some money at it. I recently came in the possession of ... a job! I am earning money. I could spend a few Washingtons a month on a Paypal Gift card. Maybe even a Jefferson or two. Possibly a Lincoln. Enough contestants could lead to a Hamilton being spent as well.
So, let me repeat myself.
Who got hype?

As an extremely strong player, I'm interested in making money from this tournament.

Crossposting confirmation that I did, indeed, get hype.

If this happens when I'm not at work I'm super in Not set in stone yet, but this time slot on a Sunday would probably be the best time for me. Not too early for West coast and not too late for Europe. www.worldtimebuddy.com/?qm=1&lid=5809844,5128581,3143244&h=3143244&date=2017-1-24&sln=21-24

Yaaaas.
And let me appeal to the people of this board: I am not a Sirlin fanboy, my goal is not to make Sirlin "successful" or whatever. I just like enjoy some of his games. Especially Yomi. Some very successful players say that Yomi is not good enough because of the carousel, that Troq, Zane, DeGrey is too good. Well, it is still better than Hearthstone, Magic and all the other popular card games out there, and I want to see if throwing money at the game works in getting the community back together after Sirlin fucked up the fantasystrike forums.
But I am not here because of politics, I am here to make events and make Yomi Great Again. I want to make 1 of these events every month, and dish out 25 buckaroos for each of them. So lets get hype, lets get ready to ride the carousel, lets get ready to play some Yomi!
Edit: I know 25$ isn't "much", but it is I would use for a night out with some friends. And I don't want to make a serious dent in my own economic situation either. But I hope it is good enough to start.

I do not frequent these boards much. Actually, I was checking to see if mysticjuicer was promoting his new tournament here. I am pleasantly surprised to see this tournament idea. I do not like fast timer, but I can't resist playing this game for something besides my pride being at stake. I will join these tournaments every time that I am available. You also gave me a reason to check in on this board. Thanks, neigutten.
btw, Congrats on the job, I have one of those, too. They are all good at first. Then, you shower your Yomi friends with gifts, then you realize you are broke again.
Seriously, I am happy for you. As an aside, I thought you were working for a library, but I might not be remembering correctly. I am getting old.

I do work at the library, but I got a "permanent" position, so I am not working "hours" more, I have a set income each month, and a set time schedule, instead of working some hours here and there ^^
Glad you want to join ckr! <3

Actually, I was checking to see if mysticjuicer was promoting his new tournament here. Yeah, just to speak to that, I wanted to run something, but I really didn't want to deal with the hassle of scheduling stuff across multiple forums, and I prefer the other boards in terms of load times, PM system, etc. Sorry to people who would participate but don't want to (or can't) frequent the SG boards.

So, regarding rules, I have been out of the loop recently, so I would like some feedback on things not thought of in my first thoughts
Rules: Fast timer Best of 3 Only a contestant who lost is able to change character between rounds Double blind pick Rules enforced Double KO is WIN for both players (in the case of a 2-2 result, deathmatch with same characters happen, where the first to deal damage wins, if both deal equal amount of damage to eachother, continue playing until someone has dealt more damage than the other player) No collusion - evidence of collusion will result in a ban in future tournaments Hands off, unless both players wants to play with them on. Results will be logged and used for seeding in future tournaments.
Is there any rules I have forgotten to state?

Shax noted that his interest was not as high after he read my part about collusion. So, in case someone else feels collusion shouldn't be banned, I'll post my reply to him here as well.
"I mostly got this from the Topanda rules i found in older forum. What is controversial about this? The way I understand collusion is that 2 or more players try to influence the integrity of the tournament by meta-gaming the tournament tree in some way too ensure that they, or someone else gets part of the prize pot without actually placing high enogh to warrant prize money.
So, if my understanding of it is wrong, please let me know. This is the part where you are able to influence how the rules are being done.
So, what does collusion mean? And why should it not be banned / why should it be encouraged?"

It punishes grapplers and slow characters over faster characters. Why not just force a rematch at that point? Fast timer means games are pretty quick anyway.

I got feedback like this earlier as well, I'll probably go with a rematch, since I don't forsee these situations happening very often anyway. I
